My cat had kittens. Is dark blood discharge normal after birth?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 0 lbs

Hello, I have a cat who delivered two lovely kittens. Unfortunately no one was around when it happens. Now her belly is still quite big, and she is weak. Her kittens are fine. But this morning, wherever she sits, she leave a darkish-like blood but it stops now. It's her first time pregnancy. is there something wrong with her, or is it normal, she is my first pet, and i have no experience in pregnancy. Thanks

Blood discharge after delivery is quite common and considered normal. if she continues being weak tomorrow i would start getting worried, make sure she eats well, give her some good quality kitten food.
